Hence the more oval ergonomic designs on most brass knuckles.

Bad lay out of the two central holes as well. {Not ergonomic.}

I fear yet another modern Indian fantasy reproduction.

Probaly worth etching to see if any grain in the steel to help date it, any earlier than ww2.

Salaams Spiral ~ I was about to write something clever about a second world war knuckle duster and blade combination that Commandos used to have strapped down one thigh! ( they had the Sykes Fairburn and this broad blade knuckle duster job as well~ Im sure "trench warfare" has an example) but you beat me to it with your excellent observation on the holes on this item being a bit oddly done. So its probably a slashing style rather that a punching weapon no?
